Welton Underwood:  

Life Welton 1 at bellsouth dot net is nice to talk to when everything is scrunched together. Lets try the story wizzard thing: I always wanted to be a minister when I grew up. My family thought it was a dumb idea and that I was crazy. As it turns out, they were wrong. I do have a very bad temper at this point in life and I generally blow off steam by telling people exactly what I think, so not much has changed there. I like to relax by putting on ear phones, kicking my feet up and listening to Ernie Haas and Signature Sound on Youtube. The wildest thing I ever did in school was cut class. I prefer to have a quiet, peaceful, and content workplace to be able to deal with the day to day. If I had to say what my biggest surprise is, it is that I didn't expect to live this long but have and that I have been able to forgive those people in high school who were so cruel and hateful and move far above that point in my life. My biggest surprise is that I have discovered that teenage hormones are from Hell, the pits of Hell! Obviously, I have a teenager! I guess that is the one thing I can share that I have learned from my 6 boys and girl. Thankfully, my six boys live next door and I can send them home when they step on my last nerve. So far that hasn't happened. They come and go as they please. At least they now knock before coming in and stop at the living room. If you don't have the pleasure of having 6 kids ranging in age from 10 to 16 in the house at one time, you don't know what you are missing. I have written below about leaving Macon, so if I won $100 Million, I would pay for the new sanctuary at church, buy me and my wife matching Mercedes 500S sedans and get my daughter into whatever medical school she chooses. So far it is Mercer Med School, Georgia Medical College or Emory Medical School. the one big luxury i would get for myself would be an upper level motorcoach home to travel in and built myself a home in Newport Beach, California - one of my all-time favorite places - and build a small cottage in the north Georgia mountains. Now Wizzard wants to know if I ever lived in a dorm. Yes, I did. Old Peyton-Jacob at Ga Southwestern; Dorman, Brannan, and one other I can't remember at Ga. Southern. I left Macon for Georgia Southern earning a B. S. in Criminal Justice and never looked back. I did post-graduate studies in counseling and human development at Troy State University. I was a Deputy Sheriff in Jones County, Ga., for a brief period of time before going to work for the Ga. Department of Corrections 22 years ago. I was a sex offender specialist supervising sex offenders in a 6 county area in Georgia and 4 counties into Alabama until my retirement on October 01, 2004. The girl I loved in high school ran off with my DeMolay brother and I later married (after college) a wonderful woman to whom I have been married for almost 25 years (Dec. 17, 1983) - and happily so, well at least for me! So far, I have ...Expand for more
